You’re a beautiful trace
Am
Of time and space
F
You’re a thing that once shone
CG
And you still shine bright
Am
In the darkest night
F
Though you’re already gone
CG
You have travelled so far
Am
My terminal star
F
In your coat so red
CG
But I still don’t know how
Am
I can watch a thing now
F
When it’s already dead
C
When it’s already dead
GAmFCG
Just to reach my eyes
Am
You traverse the skies
F
For a hundred million years
CG
I behold your power
Am
In this waukrife hour
F
Just before it disappears
CG
All the stories in stones
Am
And in beakers and bones
F
All the salt in the sea
CG
Are eclipsed by the might
Am
Of your fading light
F
You’re dying so beautifully
C
So beautifully
